Hmm... ok so at least knowing fitting all that does actually make the reverse option work. Likely be a case of picking up the message for the current gear and translating it into whatever the APIM wants to see to trigger reverse

I *think* the BEM or PCM outputs a different message, which means the cluster searches for a different message to 'convert' to mid speed which is finally picked up by the ICC.

The gear message would likely be broadcasted all the time, its how the clusters know what gear to display, same with engine speed, revs, temp ect.

Hey guys I know this might be off topic, but I know you guys are the best to ask, is there a reasonably accessible location to access all four speaker wires in one location? Or can you tell me the easiest place to find them? Thanks guys

Best place to access them is in the A-pillar if you remove both LH & RH kick panels and you can get the speaker wires that way

I know by accessing BEM PID data on the ford ids system in a FGX session it comes up with UNKNOWN for trans gear.

Another thing i noticed when you plug a MK2 cluster in now with the SDLC module connected i am not getting some errors showing up on the cluster & cannot access the cluster via IDS or Forscan.

From what i can see Fg MK1 cluster only gives you access to it via MS Canbus.

I was hoping to reprogram a MK2 cluster with MK1 software but cannot access it.

Hopefully you guys have some success on getting this to work with the ignition

I'll try the camera again this weekend as i have found 4 different codes to activate it and i'll have a crack on getting voice command to work

I looks like i have found the module causing the radio not to "wake up"

Not too much on my end, I havent tinkered with it since the SDLC was being difficult. None of the other modules are being picked up when using scantool. Only way to communicate to them is to hardwire to the canbus line wanted and directly speak to that specific module.

Its wired up correctly, since it if wasnt, nothing would be working as it wouldnt be translating canbus messages between modules.
